The Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) allows qualified participants to buy nutritious fresh fruits and vegetables using FMNP vouchers from participating Farmers' Market Associations to improve their diets.
The program promotes the routine consumption of healthy and fresh produce from Farmer's Markets as part of the daily diet of the families and individuals we serve.
FMNP:
- is not a statewide program;
- provides resources to low-income women and children in the form of fresh, nutritious, unprepared, locally grown fruits, vegetables, and culinary herbs from farmers markets; and
- increases the domestic consumption of agricultural commodities by helping develop or expand domestic farmers markets.
